Alabama FS/CB Geno Smith was arrested for a DUI early Saturday morning, his second such arrest.

He was arrested and charged for a DUI in 2013 and was suspended for the season opener. Smith was expected to take over the school's starting free safety spot with Nick Perry departing for the NFL. Mar 28 - 10:47 AM

Alabama head coach Nick Saban suspended starting sophomore CB Geno Smith for the season opener following his DUI arrest over the weekend.

The Crimson Tide face Virginia Tech on August 31st. "He’s never been in trouble here before, never been in my office for anything, but I think this is something that everybody should learn from that when you make a bad choice, sometimes the consequences of that choice can really have a negative effect," Saban said. Smith did practice on Tuesday, but apparently spent times with the safeties rather than corners. He will likely see plenty of playing time once returning to meaningful game action.

Head coach Nick Saban has not commented on Smith's game status, but being able to practice is a good sign. Beat writer Alex Scarborough noted Smith worked with the safeties rather than his typical cornerback group. Tue, Aug 20, 2013 04:58:00 PM

Smith started two games and played in 13 as a true freshman last season. "This is obviously not the kind of behavior we expect from our players," Nick Saban said in a statement. Alabama continues to search for a starter opposite Deion Belue, and this certainly won't help Smith's chances. Sun, Aug 18, 2013 09:09:00 PM
